Project with IG user @op3n_your__mind

I want to create distance between subjects.

This is a WIP shot of a collaboration with positivity-emitter @op3n_your__mind who's mission is to show people that they matter. I came across a few of his posts which resonated with what I believe and more so what I believe people need to see. I therefore wanted to incorporate his works with portraits, and dress them in my niche.

Here I’m working towards my images finishing less ‘flat’ – with little feeling of depth or dimension. Some designs are fine or better ‘flat’ but others have opportunity to feel like they have ‘layers’ in it depth of field.

Added some blur between the model and message because I want the focus to be on the message more so than the lady, and the lady to focus on the message too... I want to create distance between subjects.
